Today I shipped one of my latest paintings, “In Her Skin”, off to RJD Gallery. The title is a reference to being comfortable in your own skin and the intent of this work was to send a message about being true to yourself. This is something I feel I’ve been struggling with artistically recently. I have been wanting to try new things in the studio lately and do some experimenting but have chickened out several times. While my next painting will be different, “In Her Skin” is one of my new favorites. I will always look to this work to be reminded to be brave and just be myself.

“In Her Skin” will be included in RJD Gallery’s 2015 Women Painting Women show this fall. You are invited to RJD Gallery in Sag Harbor, NY to see it on display October 10 – November 8, 2015.

The painting “Attitude” came about kind of unexpectedly. As I held this beautifully reflective tube of luscious red lipstick, I started thinking about the power this color holds. The bad girl imagery goes perfectly with this bold, seductive, and jealousy invoking red. It is not the color to stain your lips if you’re feeling shy. It’s the color to choose if you want to feel irresistible and invincible. The perfect color for a girl with attitude.
